20.3 Restore Configuration

Menu 24.6 –- System Maintenance – Restore Configuration allows you to restore the
configuration via FTP or TFTP to your ZyAIR. The preferred method is FTP. Note that this
function erases the current configuration before restoring the previous backup configuration;
please do not attempt to restore unless you have a backup configuration stored on disk. To
restore configuration using FTP or TFTP is the same as uploading the configuration file,
please refer to the following sections on FTP and TFTP file transfer for more details. The
ZyAIR restarts automatically after the file transfer is complete.

SMT password as requested.
